Amidst overlapping climate, health and economic crises, the Morrison government continues to give billions of dollars to the fossil fuel industry, locking in decades worth of carbon emissions. Meanwhile, renewable energy technology was almost entirely overlooked, and workers and the poor continue to face unemployment, cuts to wages, unemployment benefits, and underfunded public services.
Morrison claims his plan for a “gas fired recovery” will kickstart the economy, create jobs and lower power prices, while lowering emissions. Off the back of this, the Narrabri gas project on Gomeroi lands in the Pilliga Forest was recently approved, despite enormous public opposition.
But natural gas emits masses of greenhouse gases, fracking destroys the environment and the expansion of the gas industry will do little to reduce power prices or create jobs in the numbers we need them. And despite Morrison’s apparent concern for workers, he has signalled that his government will soon come after unions and workers’ conditions.
Both government and big business are pushing their own agenda to continue to put profits over the climate, at the expense of First Nations sovereignty and the livelihoods of ordinary people.
Join the rally this December 12th to demand serious investment in renewables and climate jobs, and to protect Indigenous lands from destruction.
We demand:
1. First nations justice. No mining or fracking on Indigenous lands.
2. 100% renewable energy – reduce emissions now. Build a 100%
publicly owned renewable energy system by 2030 with jobs
guarantees for workers. Just transition for communities
3. Immediate just transition away from all current fossil fuel
projects with a commitment to no future fossil fuel or nuclear
projects. Santos out of the Pillaga. No to Morrison’s Gas fired
recovery.
4. Support communities. Fund our firies and essential workers.
